Its an awesome looking car!! Just my two cents if you're going to ask 40k for a car you should probably vacuum it and take all the trash out, it might help with the sale.

Beautiful car. If I may ask, have you measured the curb weight on your car specifically (or do you have a reasonable guess)? The weight numbers I have seen on these cars seem to be all over the map.

Its a nice car no doubt but Firebirds unfortunatley never bring close to the same money as the camaros do. I dont know why but they are always a good 30-40% lower than what the camaros bring. Love the color though. Where is the front bumper and is that a paint defect in the front drivers side valence where the bumper would be on the corner?

The front bumper is the "grille" and the "defect" is the drivers side turn signal...

Well I guess you learn something new everyday! Thank you for the clarification on that. Looking at the picture you have above really helps clarify it. Thanks again.

Nice Ride! You nailed the Stance, what springs are you using and do you have any tire rub issues. Good luck with your sale.

Little bit of rubbing on hard bumps. Running Hotchkis TVS, took an extra coil out of fronts and added 2.5 blocks in rear.

Nice car. Can I ask which TVS system you used? I believe they have a 2/1.5 and a 3" drop set for the firebird.

Wow such negativity! Anyone serious about buying this car could care less if the man vacuumed his car out or not. Its A driver. As long as the drivetrain is solid and there's no cancer, that's a more than fair price. Camaros are a dime a dozen. Everyone has em everyone knows em. Most people don't even know what my car is when they see it.
Do you ever have this car at the car meet at the sunvalley mall? I might know someone who'd be interested and I'd like to take a look at it.

I didn't read that as a negative comment, more like a Suggestion to make the car look as good as you can when it is For Sale

Im actually interested in the car, but what warrants the $40k price tag? I just sold a 71 T/A with literally the same options/package but with a fully built ls6 (forged internals and what not to handle boost), stage 2 T56, built 12 bolt..frame off..suspension..body and paint and could only get 19k at best. Not, trying to badger you or anything by any means, just trying how to justify the price tag on this without any details. But, like I said, I am interested in making a deal if you want to rationalize the price!
